Rep. Steve Israel (D., N.Y.) got testy with CNN’s Brianna Keilar during an interview Tuesday over the “context” of the most recent WikiLeaks dump of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails.

Israel first tried to spin the story by arguing the emails could be fake because they were hacked.

“Congressman, I’m going to stop you there, because–you don’t give them credibility,” Keilar said. “If they were fake, you don’t think the campaign would say they were fake? So you’re questioning the voracity of emails?”
